Bush Will Do Anything to Avoid Admitting Failure

From Salon: The Army is ordering injured troops to go to Iraq

"As the military scrambles to pour more soldiers into Iraq, a unit of the
Army's 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Benning, Ga., is deploying troops with
serious injuries and other medical problems, including GIs who doctors have said
are medically unfit for battle. Some are too injured to wear their body armor,
according to medical records. "

"Other soldiers slated to leave for Iraq with injuries said they wonder
whether the same thing is happening in other units in the Army. "You have to ask
where else this might be happening and who is dictating it," one female soldier
told me. "How high does it go?" "


More, much more in the full article.

Bush is afraid to even mention the word "draft". So he is digging deeper and deeper and essentially using America's youth as cannon fodder.

This administration needs to be removed. Fast. There is no reason in the world any more to keep impeachment "off the table." I only wish that there were a faster legitimate way to get rid of them. The Democrats need to find some cojones and pronto or we are going to be reading lots more headlines like this.
